Thanks for your response. Mine is not ALMOST non-existent....it is non-existent but the PMS comes like clock work every 21 days, a week before my cycle is sheer horror and I cramp and go through the symptoms as if I were to have my period but it hasn't appeared at all since Sept. 11th 2005.....9/11, that's how I've kept up with it, will never forget that day. I'm also experiencing pain in right side and also right above my belly button. I've been told by at least 3 different doctors or more than I had all the signs and symptoms of endometriosis and the first doctor wanted to do exploratory surgery but my lack of faith in doctors, and my stubborness that I would get through it, I refused. Now I think it has been growing and multiplying all these years and starting to give me issues. I don't recall ever reading that if left untreated, it would go into cancer. Somehow I missed that. But I recently learned this through my sister-in-law because she too has had it for years and refused to even get a pap smear once a year, and just recently learned she had uterine cancer and has spread to lymph nodes in that location and catscans revealed cancer of the breast, lymph nodes under the arm and a mass in her spleen. It doesn't look good. I think I'm way past due of having myself checked out....I just hope I haven't put it off too long.....like my sister-in-law, Bennie. My husband's dad was named Ben, and when he was expecting their second child, he hoped for a boy as the first born was a girl, Anita....well to his disappointment, he had another girl and named her Bennie after him and she is her father's child......MEAN! STUBBORN! and sometimes heartless and souless! Anyway, people always think I'm referring to a man when I say Bennie unless I specify that I'm talking about my sister-in-law. Anyway, her stubborness may have cost her her life. Bennie has been like the sister I never had, we've been friends/sisters for 16 years. I am deeply affected by her life-threatening cancer. I'm ramblin'....sorry. But please make them give you a reason why you are experiencing what you are. Pat
